Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Simple Man’ Bass Lesson

The song 'Simple Man' by Lynyrd Skynyrd is such an epic and the bass line is really inventive too. Ed King was the bassist on the original recording and there's an interesting story regarding him, this bass line, and Leon Wilkeson. All will be revealed in my latest YouTube video!

 

It's a pretty tricky bass line so I've spent some of the video teaching a simplified bass line that I've created for this song. Even though this bass line is much easier to play, it still sounds great.

 

There’s a link in the video description to a transcription of the simplified bass line and the main sections from the original bass line. 

 

Enjoy this classic!
